Today, having a clear faith based on the Creed of the Church is often labeled as fundamentalism. Whereas relativism, that is, letting oneself be “tossed here and there, carried about by every wind of doctrine”, seems the only attitude that can cope with modern times. We are building a dictatorship of relativism that does not recognize anything as definitive and whose ultimate goal consists solely of one’s own ego and desires. JOSEPH RATZINGER, homily given in the Basilica of Saint Peter on April 18, 2005 All activity must be preceded by an intense life of prayer, contemplation, seeking and listening to God’s will. -
179-San Francesco Di Paola Ai Monti.Pages
(179/16) San Francesco di Paola ai Monti ! San Francesco da Paola ai Monti is a 17th century titular church in Rome. It is dedicated to St Francis of Paola (the 15th century founder of the Minim Friars, whose friars serve this church and whose Generalate is attached to it), and is located in the Monti rione , perched on the raised corner above the Via Cavour. (1) History It was built 1645-50 with funds given by Princess Olimpia Aldobrandini Pamphili, who (like St Francis) had roots in Calabria. It was designed by Orazio Torriano, then Giovanni Pietro Morandi, given to the Minim Friars, and became the national church of the Calabrians. The late Baroque high altar was made by Giovanni Antonio de Rossi c. 1655 (who is also credited with the church's wooden tabernacle, set into a sculptured entrance of a military pavilion). No new bell tower was built for the church - instead the 12th century Torre dei Margani was used, preserving its medieval coat-of-arms on the tower has been preserved. (1) (4) However, the church as a whole was not consecrated until 10 July 1728, by Pope Benedict XIII. The lower part of the façade was refinished in plaster in the 18th century, and the whole church was then restored about a century later by Pope Leo XII. The church is now often closed, but you may ask to be admitted at the monastery. (1) (179/16) It is the conventual church of the Generalate of the Order of Minims next door, and is served by priests from that order. -

Historical Sources of Marist Spirituality
Historical sources of Marist spirituality Br. Michael Green This text comprises a series of articles written in 2020 by Marist historian and spiritual writer, Br Michael Green, on the theme of Marist spirituality. Br Michael takes the six characteristics of our spirituality that are named in ‘Water from the Rock’ and explores their historical and spiritual sources, relating them to the situations of today’s Marists. The articles were written for the Australian online Marist newsletter ‘Christlife’, and were also published in the education journal ‘Champagnat’. Introduction Marcellin Champagnat didn’t know anything about Marist spirituality, or about any kind of spirituality for that matter. What? No, there’s no myth-busting exposé to follow. Please, stay calm and keep reading. The term ‘spirituality’ has not been around for long, just over a hundred years or so. The word, as a noun, would have been unknown to Marcellin. It emerged in France towards the end of the nineteenth century, and grew in common usage in the second half of the twentieth, helped not insignificantly by the assiduous compiling, between 1928 and 1995, of a mammoth ten-volume academic work called the Dictionnaire de Spiritualité. Begun by a small team of French Jesuits, its 1500 contributors came to include many of the leading theologians and masters of the spiritual life of the twentieth century. The concept of ‘spirituality’ (singular and plural) took its place in mainstream religious discourse. Today its breadth and grab is wide, covering not only traditional paths of the Christian spiritual life, but also those of non-Christian traditions, and indeed non-theist ways of experiencing and understanding life and the cosmos. -
CONDEMNATION of COMMUNISM in PONTIFICAL MAGISTERIUM Since Pius IX Till Paul VI
CONDEMNATION OF COMMUNISM IN PONTIFICAL MAGISTERIUM since Pius IX till Paul VI Petru CIOBANU Abstract: The present article, based on several magisterial documents, illus- trates the approach of Roman Pontiffs, beginning with Pius IX and ending with Paul VI, with regard to what used to be called „red plague”, i.e. communism. The article analyses one by one various encyclical letters, apostolic letters, speeches and radio messages in which Roman Pontiffs condemned socialist theories, either explicitly or implicitly. Keywords: Magisterium, Pope, communism, socialism, marxism, Christianity, encyclical letter, apostolic letter, collectivism, atheism, materialism. Introduction And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ (Rev 12,3-4.13.17). These words, written over 2.000 years ago, didn’t lose their value along time, since then and till now, reflecting the destiny of Christian Church and Christians – „those who guard the God words and have the Jesus tes- timony” – in the world, where appear so many „dragons” that have the aim to persecute Jesus Christ followers. -

The Holy See
The Holy See SPEECH OF THE HOLY FATHER JOHN PAUL II TO THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE GENERAL CHAPTER OF THE ORDER OF MINIMS Monday, 3 July 2000 Dear Brothers of the Order of Minims! 1. I affectionately welcome you and am grateful for the visit you wanted to pay me at the beginnning of your General Chapter. I cordially greet Fr Giuseppe Fiorini Morosini, your Superior General, the Chapter fathers and the delegations of nuns and tertiaries who will be taking part in the first part of this important meeting, as well as the religious and lay people who form the three orders of the religious family founded by St Francis of Paola. I thank the Lord with all of you for the good accomplished in your long and praiseworthy history of service to the Gospel. My thoughts turn in particular to those difficult times for the Church when St Francis of Paola was engaged in carrying out a reform which drew to a new way of perfection all who were "moved by the desire for greater penance and love of the Lenten life" (IV Rule, chap. 2). 2. Inspired by apostolic goals, he founded the Order of Minims, a clerical religious institute with solemn vows, planted like "a good tree in the field of the Church militant" (Alexander VI) to produce worthy fruits of penance in the footsteps of Christ, who "emptied himself, taking the form of a servant" (Phil 2: 7). Following the founder's example, your religious family "intends to bear a special daily witness to Gospel penance by a Lenten life, that is, by total conversion to God, deep participation in the expiation of Christ and a call to the Gospel values of detachment from the world, the primacy of the spirit over matter and the urgent need for penance, which entails the practice of charity, love of prayer and physical ascesis" (Constitutions, art. -
The Roman-Catholic Priests of Moldavia During the Early Cold War
The Roman-Catholic Priests of Moldavia during the early Cold War. The Implications of the „Fight for Peace” Campaign on the Diocese of Iaşi (Abstract) Andrei PUIU Keywords: Roman-Catholic, Moldavia, „Fight for Peace”, Cold War, priests, collaboration, Gerald Patrick O`Hara, Anton Durcovici. The subject of the present study falls into the relationship between the communist state of Romania versus the Roman-Catholic Church during the early Cold War era. In this period, as suggested by the Soviet Union, the communist political leadership from Bucharest tried to approach the Roman-Catholic church issue by submitting the latin catholic rite towards state authority. This could be done through the ending of any type of contacts between the local catholic churches of Romania and the Vatican, on the ground that the pope is allegedly posed in the service of the imperialistic bloc, championed by the United States. Thus, following the communist political logic, the roman-catholic priests were obliged to recant themselves from the pope, as he was described just as being the „imperialistic” tool inside the socialist bloc. Furthermore, the roman catholic-priests were forced into a plan – designed and strictly supervised by the authorities – that considered the formation of a so called „National” Roman-Catholic Church. This institution was intentioned to follow the political regime by every means. Covered by the national propagandistic „Fight for Peace” campaign, the cooptation operation launched by the authorities over the roman-catholic priests of Moldavia was prepared by a few vital steps. First, the communist leadership issued a series of laws that were designed to break the canonicall functioning of the Roman-Catholic cult. -

St Francis of Paola Naples Who Was King at the Time
Lives of Saints 1416-1507 Feast day: 2nd April I loved contemplative solitude and wished only to be "the least in the household of God". But, the Church called me to active service in the world and I did my very best to fulfill my vocation. I accompanied my parents on a pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi and went to live as a contemplative hermit in a remote cave on the seacoast, near Paola. Before I was 20, I received the first followers who had come to imitate my way of life. Seventeen years later, when my disciples had grown in number, I established a rule for my community and sought the approval of the Church. W e called ourselves the Hermits of St Francis of Assisi. W e were approved by the Holy See in 1474. In 1492, I changed the name of my community to "M inims" because I wanted us to be known as the least (minimi) in the household of God. I wanted us to imitate Francis of "Fix your minds on Assisi's humility. I wanted us to observe the vows of poverty, the passion of our chastity and obedience, but also a perpetual Lenten fast. I believed that in order to grow spiritually we should mortify Lord Jesus Christ… ourselves heroically.
